Lot Description

1867-S Liberty Seated Half Dollar. WB-101, Die Pair WB-8. Rarity-3. MS-61 (NGC). Pale gold-gray toning on lustrous surfaces. Most central design features are sharp including Liberty's drapery, the eagle's plumage, and the various shield elements on both the obverse and reverse. Conversely, some of the obverse stars are flatly struck. Uncirculated 1867-S half dollars are very scarce. We doubt that more than a few dozen examples could be accounted for in all numismatics. PCGS# 6322. Provenance: Ex: Dick Osburn Collection.
